The Kelsey School Division has appointed Dori Hnidy as the new principal of Kelsey Community School, effective for the upcoming school year. The decision, announced by Superintendent Trevor Lane, marks an internal promotion for Hnidy, who previously served the school community as assistant principal.

Located at 120 Stewart Street in The Pas, Manitoba, the school is part of a division that serves approximately 1,570 students across six schools. The division operates within Treaty 5 Territory, which is the ancestral land of the Ininew people and the Métis, and the homeland of the Opaskwayak Ininewuk.

In her previous role as assistant principal at Kelsey Community School, Hnidy focused on fostering a safe, caring, and inclusive learning environment. Students, staff, and families can expect a continued focus on these priorities, as well as an ongoing emphasis on student success and community engagement under her new leadership.

The division’s board of trustees, which oversees operations across the tri-community area, includes Chair Melanie Young, alongside trustees Chris Keller, Gregory Fox, Lorie Stevenson, Cheryl Sinclair, Travis Hallgrimson, and Roland LeSann, as noted by the Manitoba School Boards Association.
